PhD in Educational Administration and Supervision

The Ed.D. is a practice-focused doctorate for education professionals who want to apply research to daily work. It prepares graduates to lead schools, districts, and other educational organizations through improved practice and policy. Students take advanced courses that link research with administration, policy analysis, and organizational change. The program includes a required in-person internship in a school or other educational setting, and classes are delivered online. Learners complete the internship within their own community. Learners develop advanced decision-making and organizational improvement skills for central office roles, administrative positions, and policymaking work. The full course outline appears in the graduate bulletin, and students can explore special education administration as part of their focus. Learners also prepare for research and policymaking roles.
